Overcurrent circuit breaker 6kA PL6-C16/3 286601

Eaton PL6-C16/3 Overcurrent Circuit Breaker – Reliable Installation Protection

The PL6-C16/3 overcurrent circuit breaker is a three-pole protection device designed to protect electrical installations against overloads and short circuits. It is characterized by high efficiency and durability, making it an ideal choice for both professional installers and end users. A rated breaking capacity of 6kA guarantees safety even in the event of high current flows.

Features and Application

The circuit breaker with C characteristic is particularly recommended for protecting circuits with receivers with high inrush current, such as motors, transformers or heating devices. The C characteristic allows for short-term exceeding of the rated current without unnecessary tripping of the circuit, which is important for devices requiring a momentary increase in power consumption during start-up. This minimizes the risk of false alarms and ensures continuous power supply.

• Versatile application: ideal for home installations, commercial buildings and industrial facilities.
• Overload and short circuit protection: provides comprehensive protection of the electrical installation.
• C characteristic: dedicated to circuits with receivers with high inrush current.
• Mounting on TH35 rail: enables easy and quick installation in the switchgear cabinet.
• Durable construction: made of high-quality materials, guarantees long-lasting and reliable operation.

Technical Parameters and Benefits

The PL6-C16/3 circuit breaker has been designed with safety and functionality in mind. Its technical parameters meet the highest quality standards, and its compact dimensions (width of 3 modules) allow for efficient use of space in the switchgear cabinet. The rated voltage of 400V and the rated current of 16A make the circuit breaker suitable for most standard electrical installations. Energy limitation class 3 and surge category III provide additional safety in the event of disturbances in the electrical network.

• Rated current: 16 A – optimal for most circuits with medium power consumption.
• Rated voltage: 400 V – compatible with most power grids.
• Breaking capacity: 6 kA – high resistance to short circuits, ensuring effective protection of the installation.
• Width: 3 modules – saving space in the switchgear cabinet.
• Degree of protection: IP20 – protection against contact with fingers and solid bodies with a diameter greater than 12.5 mm.
• Operating temperature: -25°C to +75°C - possibility of use in a wide range of ambient temperatures.
• Wire cross-section: 1-25 mm² - possibility of connecting wires of different thicknesses.

Eaton PL6 series circuit breakers are a proven choice for demanding users who value reliability and safety. Thanks to the high quality of workmanship and compliance with applicable standards, they provide long-lasting protection of the electrical installation against the effects of overloads and short circuits.
